Congrats to the American men's and women's teams for winning the 4x100 IM relays.. The women went one up by beating the WR. Theirs was an all-star team and each member performed to her potential!! Smashing work, girls..

Amazing SF match between USA women and Canada ends 4-3 USA on a 123' header by Alex Morgan from a long cross by Heather O'Rielly. A goal so reminiscent of Abbey Wambach's header to the net following a long cross from Megan Rapinoe vs. Brazil in last year's WC.

Canada lead 3 times, with all three goals coming from their superstar Christine Sinclair. After that questionable delay call that ultimately led to Wambach's PK to make it 3-3, I felt badly for Canada and almost wished they'd win because they certainly deserved to. Canada is a great team. I'd say a real threat to the USA. I don't like the way Japan plays so I don't rate them that high.

In the other SF, Japan advanced setting up a rematch of last year's WC final against the US won by Japan on PKs. France missed a PK that would have tied it 2-2. After watching the US miss all those PK's last year, I'm always amazed to see women miss PKs. The goalies are so small and less athletic than male goal keepers, there's just too much open net to miss. The margin of error is so great, they don't have to be perfect, and yet they play it way too close for comfort and wind up missing. Even Wambach's PK hit the inside of the post. Whaaaaa??? Just kick the frickin' ball already!

Babs I watched the match and not happy at all . Canada deserved to win. There were some really questionable calls, we got robbed . Darn Yanks . We needed that win more. as if you guys haven't won enough already.

Canada sure as hell deserved it just as much as the US, and I swear I was practically rooting for Canada after that delay call. The commentators said the goal keeper *must* already have been warned. Such a ticky tacky call. I guess I'll get over it The final against Japan is going to be a Japan is boring.
